I’m sure your wonderful wife describes you as ‘silver-haired’.

“Top knot.”
“Top knot.”
“Hmmm…top knot.”
“Top knot.”
“You know what would really work with your face? Top knot.”

I’m just imagining that he also does non-sumo-people’s hair, but he does everyone’s hair exactly the same. And his customers are all, “He’s a great hairdresser, but he’s kind of stuck on this one style…”
